Sophia held in her arms the clothes she had picked out for her daughter two years ago. Even after more than seven hundred days and nights, he could still vividly recall the joyous smile on her face when she found out she was pregnant. He couldn’t deny feeling happy too, becoming a father for the first tbrought an indescribable joy, Yet, he was the type to keep his emotions in check, so even in his happiest moments, he’d keep it all inside. Over the next month, she practically lived at the mall, buying loads of baby stuff. He’d gently remind her not to go overboard with spending, but seeing those tiny clothes and toys always softened his heart.

When she was almost two months pregnant, they went to the hospital for a checkup, only to be hit with the news of an ectopic pregnancy. The doctors said they had to terminate the pregnancy right away to avoid serious damage to her body. That night, when they chfrom the hospital, they lay in bed holding each other. She cried all night, and he stayed by her side in silence.
Did it hurt? Of course. He had hopes for that child too, and he’d even brushed up on parenting knowledge in the CEO’s office, despite Eric’s teasing. But fate was cruel; it snatched away an innocent life. And it got worse. Because of the ectopic pregnancy, she had to have her right fallopian tube removed, making it even harder for her to conceive in the future. The miscarriage and the surgery had left irreversible damage, making it impossible for her to get pregnant for almost five years.
Knowing how badly she wanted a child and that she wouldn’t listen to him about contraception, he had no choice but to have the medical team develop non–invasive birth control pills and secretly give them to her. He had hoped to wait a couple more years, until her body fully recovered, before
trying for another child. But their trip to Vrun City, that bizarre nightmare, shattered their once peaceful life.
As he looked at the clothes in her arms, he couldn’t help but remember her bleeding profusely on the operating table. “Sophia, don’t dwell on it. Those pains are in the past, and the child has moved on to another life.” He reached out to embrace her.
Sophia kept her head down, gently stroking the clothes in her arms. Her dark eyes showed no sign of pain, just a cold, eerie glow. She thought to herself, “Why should I be sad? Death is near, and I’ll soon be with my daughter. As for this man, I’ll make him suffer, living in agony. And Ada, I’ll make her beloved man destroy her.”
A punch of silence. Jason met her eyes, but they were hollow. Her face, once vibrant, was now a mask of despair. It felt like his heart was being squeezed, making it hard to breathe. “Sophia, please, stop torturing yourself. If you want a child, can’t we try again in a few years?”
Sophia smirked mockingly. How rare it was to hear him speak so softly after four years of marriage. She wasn’t even a fraction as good at pretending as Ada. “Jason, my child will never cback, and I’ll never be a mother again.”

Why should Ada’s illegitimate child wear her daughter’s clothes? From now on, her daughter would have nothing to do with him.
Jason pressed his lips together tightly, staring at the tiny clothes in his hand. The bright red color tugged at his heartstrings, causing a sharp pain in his chest. Especially when he saw the bitter smile on her face, it felt like his heart was being ripped apart. “Don’t do this. How can i give someone else our daughter’s things? If you don’t want to be reminded of her, I’ll have someone build a caband lock them away another day.” With that, tears filled his eyes.
And Sophia smiled cryptically.
